Sir permit me to trouble you in relation to a revolutionary Claim or pension due to the Heirs of Samuel Glover dec d . Mr Glover was in the service for several years, and some years ago evidence was obtained of his service, and forwarded to the department, the matter has rested until this time without any action having been taken in it, further than a year or so back I wrote to a Mr Knight who was prosecuting Claims, but I can hear nothing from him, and I understand no steps have been taken by him for its prosecution.
I am one of the Heirs of the late Sam d . Glover having married his daughter, Mr Glover dec d in 1822 and his widow Mary Glover in 1835. I wish you to look into the matter, and if any thing can be made out of it, I will get you to act for the Heirs.
Please to write me immediately on the subject, and inform me what is necessary to be done.
Very respectfully
Yours Ob st Serv t .
Ro. Shaw.
P.S. I think I can get you several Claims to attend to.

Dear Sir:
You are advised that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, R. 4074 , that Samuel Glover married, October 16, 1782 in Buckingham County, Virginia, Miss Mary Tindale.
He died June 7, 1820 in Buckingham County, Virginia, and she died April 11, 1839.
The following children were alive in 1846:-Samuel Glover, Benning Glover, Joseph Glover, Lindorf Glover, Susan Glover, Elizabeth Glover, Judith Shaw, Mary Patterson and Nancy Benning.
Their son, Samuel, while a resident of Appomattox County, Virginia, applied July 10, 1845, in behalf of himself and the other children, for the pension that might have been due their mother, and alleged that his father, Samuel Glover, enlisted in Buckingham County, Virginia, in the spring of 1776 and served two years as a private in Captain Thomas Patterson's or John Morton's Company, and served in the winter and spring of 1781, three months in Captain Charles Petterson's Company.
The claim was not allowed, as he failed to furnish satisfactory proof of service, as required by the pension law.
In 1854, Robert Shaw stated that he married a daughter of Samuel Glover.
Very truly yours,
E. W. MORGAN, Acting Commissioner.

Sir,
Enclosed is the declaration of Sam l Glover (Adm o of Mary Glover def d ) of Appomattox (a new) county claiming the pension that was due his mother at her death - as the widow of Sam l Glover adm o who was a 2 years regular soldier &c.
The evidence I think you will find entirely satisfactory. Sam l Glover the declarant was appointed Adm o for the special purpose of receiving the pension due his mother at her death.
The clerk you will see is a new one newly appointed, and in a new Court - in which there is no County Seal yet provided. The extract from the proceedings of the Court, certified to by the Presiding Magistrate, shews his appointment.
Yours respectfully -
R. H. Gray att s for
Sam l Glover Adm o
The clerk, as you will see at first copied the certificate of the Court on the declaration - but owing to his leaving out a line - he copied it over on the marriage bond.

On this 10 th day of June 1845, before me Leroy W. Corralle a Justice of the peace in and for said County personally appeared Mr. Adlai Arington, a respectable resident of said County who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath say, that he is 84 years old, and was well acquainted with said Glover and of the County of Buckingham, during the Revolutionary war. The same person who married Miss Mary Tindal in or about the year 1782. Dep. lived close neighbour to said Glover, and knows the fact, that he enlisted as a regular soldier in the Revd war, in winter or spring of 1776 in the County of Buckingham, under Capt. Thos Patterson, who was a regular officer, and died while in service. Dep. was going to school in Buckingham to Mr. Thos Wood, (an Englishman) at the time said Glover enlisted as above - which was for two years. Ivel W. Jones, his Anthony Jones, and Chas. Dibbner, enlisted in the same Company with said Glover, under Capt. Patterson, all of whom, he thinks, was going to school at the time (to said Wood) with dep. - that they enlisted. That said Company to which said Glover belonged, was marched to the North soon after they enlisted - and served their two years faithfully out, as he is disposed to believe - for he has perfect recollection of having frequent conversations with said Glover after he returned from said service, at the North, under Capt. Thos Patterson - the details of which he does not remember. Said Glover also served three months more in the same service with deponent, under Capt. Chas. Patterson in port at Portsmouth in Virginia, in the winter and spring of 1781 - being discharged a few days before and got home on Esther Sunday - they being in said service at the time that the Battle of Guilford took place. Said Glover served this term of three months faithfully out to the best of his knowledge. The conversations held with Glover as above, was intended to mean, in regard to his services as a regular soldier. Dep. was not at Glover's marriage, but recollects distinctly, when it took place as above, in the year 1782. Dep. moved out of Buckingham and knows nothing of the death of said Glover, or his wife Mary, whose maiden name was Tindal.

Sir, yours of the 21 st inst Nov 5 is at hand requiring further evidence of the Service of Sam l Glover. When you require me to perform a specific act in regard to the establishment of pension and right or the others. — I am to presume that every other part or feature of it is satisfactorily made out. This is not the first case by several in which myself and claimants have been thus tantalized, and  and my feelings sp o rted with and both the Gov t and claimants, run to unnecessary expense.
In your very first communication in every case I conceive it to be your duty to state your whole objections to the case, whether it is defective in proof of Service marriage, or of heirship, so that in getting the proof in one respect it would be but little more trouble to us to obtain the whole — if it could be obtained at all — and one half the time of the clerks, would be saved in writing communications, and consequently, at least twice the number of cases disposed of in the same time.
In this case your first demand was further proof of Glover's Service — being entirely silent as to the heirship. I then forwarded to you the Aff t Giles Davidson of Amherst — showing the probability, that Sam l Glover may have enlisted under Capt. "M c Morton" of P. Edward County, who was rec-

recruiting in Buckingham Co at the same time (1776) that Capt Patterson was - for he states distinctly that his 2 brothers David and Edward en- -listed under Morton in 1776 for 2 years - he may have been mistaken in the given name of Morton it may have been Jas instead of the Morton. When I forwarded Giles Davidson's Aff ts to you, I requested that Mortons roll might be examined in order ascertain for a certainty, whether Glover's name could be found on it; But you gave  have given me no answer as to this fact. Then you gave but went on to demand proof of living children - leaving a clear inference that you were satisfied as to the Service - and in my answer I reque- -sted that you would state distinctly whether the Service was satisfactory or not - for if it was "not" it would be a waste of time and money, in getting the certificate  roll of the court as to the fact of their being children living to enjoy the pension. you still remained as to Service,  Munn but demanded the certificate of the court. I obtained it and told Capt Glover the Adm l that I considered every thing else satisfactory - he put the same con- -struction on your letters that I did. you now claim further proof of Service - still remaining silent as to Mortons roll. I think I have a right to expect some little assistance in this respect - for if the position or testimony which we have

furnished of Glorers Service, is not satisfactory, and nothing but the rolls will be received as evidence of service (the greater part of which, in the early part of the war, was being destroyed) I think the department should give us all the light it could, and all the facility they can in arriving at the facts in all such cases.
— you will therefore please examine the rolls of Capt. Jno and Jas Morton for Glorers name and if it can not be found there, and no other rolls in existence — and you still continue to reject the evidence furnished I shall have to abandon the case, as I should have done before tho, I considered it as virtually allowed. Considering the fact of the destruction of the rolls such oral testimony as I have furnished ought to be recd in their stead.
Yours —
R. H. Gray atty
83. The witness, in this case, is positive as to the enlistment of Glorers, and the length of time that he was in Service but may have been mistaken as to the captain that they enlisted under.

1179 Pension office Aug 27. 1845.
Sir,
The claim of Mary Glora, decd. for the benefit of the act of July 1, 1838, has been examined and filed.
The proof of the date of the marriage is satisfactory, but there is no evidence to show that her husband, Sam'l Glora, served as stated in the declaration; for, on examination of the off roll of Capt Patterson's company in this office his name cannot be found upon it and of. If he was a regular soldier and served as stated for two years, there should be no difficulty in establishing the fact by the testimony of surviving comrades, if there be no evidence of it in the office of the auditor at Richmond.
The secretary of War has decided that a pension now found  forms no part of the assets placed in the hands of an administrator for distribution among heirs, or creditors, &c.

but must be paid to the children alone , who ages and places of residence, must be certified by a court of Record, before a certificate can be issued. In the event of there being no children a certificate is not issued.

In my letter of the 9 th April, you were in reference to the case of Mrs. Mary Glover, brought up by your letter of 14 Ap l . dec d , you were told that if Mrs. Glover left children, it would be necessary, before the claim could be further examined, that the certificate of a Court of record, showing the date of her death and the names of her surviving children should be forwarded to this office. Until this is done, therefore, the case will not be re-opened.

Sir, your letter of the 9 th is duly at hand - enquiring whether Mary Glorn dr. d of Buckingham Co Va - left children, otherwise any balance that was due her would not be paid &c d - In answer to which, I have to inform you that she left several - Sam l Glorn the Adm r who is the declarant in this case being one of them, and I think so declared in his declaration. If this is the only impediment, you may with safety forward the certificate of pension.
Should it be necessary to obtain the certificate of the court as to the fact of Mrs Glorn having left children and their names - you will please write me - but I assure you it is so for Sam l Glorn the declarant told me that he was the son of Sam l Glorn who underwent the service and Mary his wife whose maiden name was Tilden. I know it also from others who are disinterested.
The fact of his and her death and the No s and names of the children will have to be embodied in the certificate of the court, affixed to the vouchers upon which the money is to be drawn at the Agency in Rich d Va - before the money will be paid - Therefore I should suppose it altogether unnecessary that these facts should be known at this stage of the prosecution of the claim - and at any rate unless the not satisfaction you will therefore

issue the certificate, or let me know whether the certificate of the court is indispensable at this stage - as to the part of the children &c - any thing else being satisfactory. Yours _____ R. H. Gray atts.

That tho' he was too young to be in service in 1776, yet he recoll- -ects that Cap. Tho s Patterson from Buckingham, and Cap. M c Morton from P. Edward both recruited men from Buckingham in the year 1776, for the Infantry, about the same time. These companies joined each other. Def- -endant had two brothers David and Edward Davidson who enlisted under said Cap. M c Morton from P. Edward for two years he believes. Sam l Glora, who lived with his father in Buckingham - about 10 miles from the P. Edward line - may have enlisted under said Morton, instead of Tho s Patterson as supposed, yet he knows nothing of the fact himself.

Sir,
Enclosed is the aff t of Giles Davidson of Amherst Co - showing the probability that Sam l Glover may have enlisted under cap. M c Morton of Prince Edward instead of cap. Thos. Patterson as supposed by the witnesses in the case - Patterson and Morton at Sevier were recruiting at the same time - 1776 - in Buckingham - and Patterson belonging to the County, and they having heard of his recruiting men, and marching them to the North - and not perhaps having heard of Morton they took it for granted that Glover was under Patterson, when he might have been under Morton - for Davidson says that 2 of his brothers living in the same neighborhood with Glover did enlist under cap. Morton P. Edward in 1776. The fact is clearly proven that Sam l Glover did enlist in Buck m in 1776, was marched to the North, and stayed 2 years or so - you will be so good as to give us the benefit of a search on cap. M c Mortons roll for Glover, and whether found there or on Pattersons, or on neither I think the proof is satisfactory, that he did enlist, and was in the service 2 years or more yours -

Dear Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, R. 4074, it appears that Samuel Glover married, October 16, 1783 in Buckingham County, Virginia, Miss Mary Tindale.
He died June 7, 1830 in Buckingham County, Virginia, and she died April 11, 1839.
The following children were alive in 1846- Samuel Glover, Benning Glover, Joseph Glover, Lindorf Glover, Susan Glover, Elizabeth Glover, Judith Shaw, Mary Patterson and Nancy Benning.
Their son, Samuel, while a resident of Appomattox County, Virginia, applied, July 10, 1845, in behalf of himself and the other children, for the pension that might have been due their mother, and alleged that his father, Samuel Glover, enlisted in Buckingham County, Virginia, in the spring of 1776 and served two years as a private in Captain Thomas Patterson's or John Morton's Company, and served in the winter and spring of 1781, three months in Captain Charles Patterson's Company.
The claim was not allowed, as he failed to furnish satisfactory proof of service, as required by the pension law.
In 1854, Robert Shaw stated that he married a daughter of Samuel Glover.
As stated in the first paragraph of this letter, the above information was obtained from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, R. 7074. It is not from a book or volume.
